Hotel Première Classe Pau Est - Bizanos

This 2-star hotel is an ideal base for tourism or a business trip in Pau. At the gateway to the Pyrenees, we are not far from Lourdes. The Atlantic coast at Biarritz is an hour and a half’s drive. Total’s research centre and Schlumberger’s Pau branch are close by. Our comfortable rooms offer good value for money.

Close to Total, Schlumberger and the Pyrenees

We are easy to reach from the A64 Toulouse-to-Bayonne motorway. Bordeaux is two hours away via the A65, which joins the A64 near Pau. You will find us in the town’s industrial zone, conveniently located for the Pau branch of several big companies. And the city centre is just 5 km away.

Castle, white wines and ski resorts

The magnificent Château de Pau in the centre is classed a historical monument. And the streets around it abound with architectural treasures. While you are here, you can also enjoy the Pyrenean ski resorts of Gourette and Artouste, just over an hour away. Or sample Jurançon white wines straight from the producer, a 15-minute drive.

A variety of room configurations to suit your needs

Our 71 comfortable rooms can accommodate up to four people. We have double and twin rooms, or triples with either configuration plus an overhead bunk. Some sleep four in a triple configuration plus extra single bed. Seven are interconnecting rooms and three are adapted for people with reduced mobility. All have en suite bathroom with shower, free Wi Fi and flat-screen TV.

ideal for those passing through, an ideal gateway to the stunning drive to cross the Pyrenees to Zaragoza in Spain. the Hotel is in a chain across France that I have used before and no reason why I should stop using them. they are value for money, this hotel in Pau, the staff was friendly, there was a Quick burger / steak chain outlet directly opposite or a 5 minutes further was a Buffalo Grille chain of steak house which are good value for money.

the hotel as most out of town hotels in France was with secure parking, if you went out there was a night security guard who let you in via a side gate. the room was with wifi that worked well, an en-suite bathroom although small was adequate to freshen you up after a long journey or to set you up for the next long journey.at reception you can order breakfast, get a beer, cold drinks or snacks from vending machines if that's what you require.. all in all a good room for a fair price.

FOR1. Slightly better than the smaller, adjacent ibis Budget Pau Est hotel we've stayed at before as it has more on-site facilities. 2. Very convenient for watching Section Paloise, the local French Top14 rugby team at the (very) nearby Stade du Hameau. 3. Staff very friendly and helpful. 4. Cheap (€5) breakfast available and the adjacent Campanile Pau Est-Bizanos hotel has a full restaurant. 5. Vending machines in reception for those midnight snacks or "just coffee OK" late mornings!6. Large car park with 24/7 security. 7. It only cost us £117 inc. taxes for 4 nights though admittedly that's in November.

AGAINST1. Poor sound insulation between the rooms. 2. Plastic "pod" style bathrooms that flood due to inadequately long shower curtains.3. Risibly slow Wi-Fi connection which you have to reconnect to each time you want to use it. If you're going to offer it, make it worthwhile!!

You get what you pay for with this chain of budget hotels which we've used before and will use again. You get a clean and cheap place to stay at night. Expect no more unless you want to pay (much) more.
